I love monitors .. although they confuse the heck out of me ..

every water ive owned has been dog tame!


mine use to sit on my head if i handled him, as he grew he still managed to get up there

[Tim Winegard]

Well they sounds
nice but BIG

thats my big boy! he is the largest african monitor species .. a white throated monitor .. males average out a s an adult at 60 - 70 pounds and females at about 35 pounds .. give or take ..

Very nice lizards but they get pretty big and require lots of room//

I perosnally love savs adn beleive tehm to be a great beginer species.. but many ppl would suggest ackies although I have never worked with them so can't put my .02$ on that ..

there are many otheres that make great pets..

[Tim Winegard]

THose are some awesome pictures dom I am quite jelous of you haha If I had the room i would have TWO. When Im in my own house I will definately have on of those white throat monitors!
Thanks for posting the pics.

[Dom]

No problem Tim!

Too many, Sav's are just the typical monitor everyone has but I trully think that they are an amazing monitor to keep .. I catch myself staring at them for minutes if not hours sometimes!

Ill try to post more pics

Hey Dom he seemed to calm down a bit he doesn't put up that much of a fight when I hold him.....nevertheless he still wants to chew off my hand. but I have been handling him quite a bit so I think eventually he'll come around.

[Dom]

great to hear .. Don't forget to give Ray a call in case u havn't!

Take care
Dom
